Opis

Meet Mistress Meg, Matthew, Cornelius Nose-all and their friends and acquaintances in Mistress Meg and the Prigger of Prancers, the first book in the "Mistress Meg and the Elizabethan Rogues" series. There's mischief brewing in the town of Guildern. Mistress Meg and her mysterious servants Matthew and Cornelius are staying at the Goat in Chains Inn, and her intuition and skills are already having an effect on the trade of the local cunning-man. When a parcel of rogues also arrives in Guildern just before the local fair there's sure to be trouble - and a valuable horse is at the centre of it. The temptation is too much for one prigger of prancers, the roguish name for a horse thief. Life on the road in Tudor times was hard and dangerous, but there was also humour and comradeship. All this is reflected in this picaresque novel, the first in the "Mistress Meg and the Elizabethan Rogues" series, set in England in Shakespeare's day.
